Anyone watching the football? Atlanta-Philly just got interesting in the fourth quarter. I don’t really care who wins, but it’s a pretty good game. The Iggles just clawed their way back from a large early deficit to take a one-point lead.
Minnesota-San Fran is up next as the second part of a double-header, and I don’t care about either of those teams either. But I generally root against San Fran because an obnoxious former coworker is a huge San Fran fan, and it makes me happy to think of her feeling wretched because of a loss.
Jon “Chucky” Gruden is calling the game. I’m not sure why he’s so widely hated as an announcer by viewers, but I’m sure y’all will tell me. I think he does an okay job. But I wish he wasn’t an announcer but was instead still coaching the Bucs. Tampa’s franchise has been a toxic waste dump ever since Chucky got kicked to the curb.

San Fran is a disaster and the good man who was made their head coach will suffer for it and be the cause of it, to some point, since he shouldn’t be a head coach.

Bucs fan here. I am with Betty that the Bucs ownership overreacted to firing Gruden in 2008 (the collapse of the team was due to bad injuries on defense). Every coaching move since then has been a worse hire than before. While we needed to get better on drafting – we’ve only had one decent draft since 2001 – we’ve had GMs with weird biases – Dominik refused to draft offensive line, ever, which killed the long-term development of the entire offense – and just bad luck with First Rounders.

Boggs Mountain State Forest, which was one of the best areas for orienteering and mountain biking in the state, is completely burned. The village of Cobb, where my friends and I got supplies when we were there, is gone. Much of the town of Middletown further south has been destroyed. Hundreds have lost their homes and businesses. Thousands have been evacuated. If you want to see some heartwrenching, but also heartwarming, pictures and stories, go to Twitter and enter #ValleyFire.

Gruden is loathed because he tries to do a poor man’s John Madden impersonation.
He gave Julio Jones the knick name “Hammerin'” Julio Jones because argyle gargle (auto correct made argle bargle better) he’s a hammerrin’ sports ball star like “Hammerin'” Hank Aaron. And both of them sports ball starred in Atlanta.
Hank Aaron was a bit before my time. I did do a book report about him in the second grade. I can say based on my detailed research Julio Jones has not put up with half the shit Aaron had to deal with in his professional career and has not come close to achieving, in football, what Aaron did in baseball.
If Gruden just stuck to explaining what is going on in the game he would be very good. He gets side tracked into trying to be “cute” and/or “colorful”.
Madden pulled it off because that style was new and entertaining in the early 1980’s. Now it is old and tired.

@Betty Cracker: I have friends who quit the Vikings and became Packers fans over AP. The Vikings are the most embarrassing franchise in the league. It goes all the way back to the guy running the wrong way, to being the only team to win 15 games in a season and not win a Super Bowl, to Love Boat, to kickers and runners who deal drugs, to letting Shaun Alexander score FIVE touchdowns in one half, to having the most arrests in the league, and the part I hate the most, bilking us for THREE stadiums.

AM or FM? If AM, try turning the radio 90 degrees (if the long axis is oriented E-W, try N-S). This because the ferrite bar antenna inside most of them is directional.

Still seething about Headset-gazi. Glitches happen and the whole country screams “MORE CHEATING!!!!” Then the league says, “No, it wasn’t the Patriots fault” and there’s crickets.
Apparently the Pats’ headsets went down during their second Super Bowl against the Giants in 2012. Did anyone anyone ever hear about it? No. Because the Pats just took their lumps without complaining. Instead of bitching during the press conference, Darth Hoodie just added headset failure into his game planning, and now has his coaches practice working without headsets.

@redshirt: Like others have already mentioned, copper wire would be better. I said 30″ because that’s a quarter wavelength at FM frequencies. Another issue if you’re trying for AM stations – lighting dimmers, which create a lot of electrical noise when the lights are partially dimmed.
If the radio has two screws for an external FM antenna it may want a folded dipole antenna. Those used to be easy to make, but 300 ohm flat-lead TV cable isn’t nearly as common as it used to be. If you’re attaching a single wire try one screw at a time – one may work better than the other.
That’s about all the advice I’m good for in one 24 hour period. Good luck!
